The students I’ve seen and talked with, all want to take the course, and intend to sometime As Written: some time , but say they cannot leave now, though they all would like to if possible, Bradford Sherman seems to be the only one who would go now, except Mrs. Colman. They did not all give me their reasons for not being able to go now.

A young lady came to me who was told by the best doctors in this country, and in London & Paris, Europe, that she had heart disease, and could not be cured. She is now perfectly well.
